You can check real-time traffic information
transmitted by the Traffic Message Channel
(TMC) of the FM Radio Data System (RDS) on
the screen. Such traffic information is updated
periodically. When the navigation system re-
ceives updated traffic information, the naviga-
tion system will overlay the traffic information
on your map and also display detailed text in-
formation when available. When you are tra-
velling along a route and there is traffic
information on your current route, the system
will detect it and ask you if you would like to
be rerouted, or suggest another route automa-
tically.
p The system acquires the traffic information
up to 150 km in radius from the vehicle po-
sition. (If there is a lot of traffic information
around your vehicle, the radius will be
shorter than 150 km.)
p The navigation system provides the follow-
ing functions by using the information
from RDS-TMC service:
! Displaying a list of traffic information
! Displaying traffic information on a map
! Suggesting a route to avoid traffic jams
by using traffic information
p The term “traffic jam” in this section indi-
cates the following types of traffic informa-
tion: slow, queuing and stationary traffic
and closed/blocked roads. This information
is always taken into consideration when
checking your route, and the information
related with these events cannot be turned
off. If you select other traffic information in
“Traffic Settings”, the information can be
displayed in a list or on a map.
= For details, refer to Selecting traffic infor-
mation to display on page 54.
